While I agree with you, I don't think that's the problem. I think it's that there are still parents who still think video games are toys and toys are for kids. If toys are for kids and video games are toys than video games are fot kids.

The bright side is that the next generation of parents will all have grown up around video games and be fully aware that not all video games are for kids.

Parents know that games are no longer considered toys outside of the realm of Nintendo. The problem therin is that their kids are asking them for games that shouldnt be playing and their parents just dont have the balls to say no to them when the cashier at Gamestop says "this is a mature rated game, are you sure you want to buy this for your child?" Most moms that I see look at their kids and give in. Ive seen very few mothers take a stand with their kids. Parents are working longer hours these days than they used to in the US to meet their ends. 

I am afraid the next generation of parents are going to raise their kids more liberal than normal. I am just saying i'll be on the few who doesn't in this country. I'll give them a Nintendo first and let them work themselves up like building blocks. 

Just saying...my mother bought me a Nintendo to keep myself busy when I was bored and didnt know anything about videogames thinking they were just toys. She later learned to hate videogames because I turned into a gamer (LOL). My mother never had to majorly ground me because I knew she was going to take my videogames and it always worked.....always.
